摘要: Naturally occurring neoplasia of the nervous system has been documented in many species addition to humans, which include dogs, cats, mice, and even zebrafish. Some tumors these share features including histopathological appearance, neuroimaging characteristics, tumor genetics, molecular targets, biological behavior. Based on such similarities, studying CNS dogs mice genetics neuronal Drosophila zebrafish suggested as a valuable pursuit field cancer research can aid following areas: identification cancer-associated genes, environmental risk factors, biology, progression development novel therapeutics. This chapter reviews current knowledge types spontaneously affect Drosophila, demonstrates potential utility naturally models research.
